Getting Waluigi, Daisy, and Rosalina. Actually ordered a SM Series Peach specifically because of these other two, though Waluigi will simply have to non-mesh with my WarioWare Wario.
@Gorlokk Name it after one of the crossdressed (well, for Saki I'm not sure if that's apt) idols of iDOLM@STER? Or "Fish Eye" from Sailor Moon? Immediately I thought of Berserk's Griffith, but the theme doesn't fit at all.
@Tempestryke I'd imagine "Ethan, Soul, and Lyra" (given Wally's as in ORAS, they wouldn't regress), though I'd love to see Kris return. Hell, given her design, she could be reappropriated as an Alolan-raised.
As for the trailer, it's wild to see Red so grown, even though Green looks so similar.
...Did I type "Green"? I must've meant Blue, but if that's the case, they surely would've changed his pants and shoes, right? looks at his rug in HGSS Oh, yeah...
@Wexter What hurts is I have yet to get past "the hair", but through Twitter hype and the Blood Drive box art, I've gleaned insight into who (canonically) dies. I am bummed I couldn't've had the unspoilt impact, and saddened to who in particular I noticed.
I have been going digital for many titles, but there are some games which just are bot available outside these physical media, so this is a bummer. Maybe a peripheral?
Count me skeptical, but wouldn't there still be no competitive use of weaker Pokémon which don't have any decent move to use as a Z-Move? At least Mega Evolutions provided situational shifts in stats, types, and abilities, so I'd assume that unless there's more support-type Z-Moves (like Eevee's), we're still only gonna see Pokémon which could hold their own regardless.
I was fond of him from the Nintendo Directs (frickin' adorable, like Hiro from Heroes), but I did not realize the full scope of this great person, and perhaps he'd been fine with that. But after all that set-up on his ambition, determination, and compassion, when the "Kyoto sky" line was dropped, I was holding my face back from breaking down. Damn shame he was taken out with so much ahead of him.
I am curious, though, whether this contains any of the original art which had been censored in overseas releases. Since it's not being sold with the game, or even by Nintendo directly, maybe it can escape the fates of Bravely Second's.
@Sakuraichu I'd like to thank you for seguing into providing information for other Fire Emblem artbooks, rather than only posting dissent, as every other comment implies. That those games actually released in English gives these books a much higher chance of localization!
I'm fine with this being mobile-only ubder one condition: port the Investigations games and bundle Apollo with them as a "not-Phoenix Trilogy". May make decent financial sense to 3D-'em-up all in one batch, and sell those efforts as a single package, so they can't lose revenue from only the mainline game being bought were they to split them up.
Huh, for the dominance of Reisz(?) fanart, kinda odd to see her off on the side of that banner art. But then, maybe it's just the...focus of the repository for that art.
Never expected to see this name again, as I last kept up with it in relation to Rayark's titles, but I think it's waned from the App Store in these past years?
Relieved I already have Premium, but damn, I just sank $14 USD on Super Mario Galaxy just a couple days ago (man, I hate Mario's physics). Between this and Picross 3D Round 2, I'm droolin'!
Also, figures that with just two blue panels left on mine, Puzzle Swap now has Bonus Chances to get multiple of a visitor's panels at once.
There's some endearing combination to the shape of Marie's eyes when she smiles with these hi-def models. Paired with her surprise in the (North American, at least) Splatfest results, it gives her character this warm interior that melts out past her sardonic wit. Like, she fronts a snarky aloofness, but lets it down when getting into a performance, and is caught off guard when reciprocated with the same. </fawn>
Watching (well, listening, mostly) to this yet again from Nintendo's official YouTube channel(s). It even got their new solo numbers in there, with a live band for it all. I may have to damn my wallet if they ever performed within driving distance.
@GraveLordXD It was this comment that got me thinking, this "console" could hold these 30 games, and then expansion packs could be sold as mini-cartridges pushed into the system like olde. A sort of docking structure, but more compact than balled knuckles~
@Utena-mobile Hell, they could get Chrono Trigger DS and Final Fantasy VI Advance on the Wii U's, if they want to dance around the Wii -> U discount function. I'd hope for the Euro-version of the latter, though (e s p e c i a l l y for FFIVA, good gods).
Never having been so invested in the Sonic-verses, I was aware of "Robotnik", but I can't tell in what proximity of that awareness "Eggman" was normalized to me. Guess they just had both floated into mind, so I'm cool with either. I like the idea of a mad genius branding his ambitions with the Egg-y monikers (and mockers, as duly derided for the sometimes literal lunacy?), with Robitnik brought out for particularly personal – even volitile – stakes. Like Ratigan between jovial headman and unhinged force a' nature.
If Ninty's gonna go this route, they know it's gotta be bundled with the console, or it'll have no install base. See: PS Move, Xbox Kinect, perhaps even the Balance Board. If it wasn't for the Wii Remote being the basic controller, what's the chances motion control would've kicked off like it did?
First off, I rebuke anyone who claims that employing "cussing" (as I've called "swearing") represents immaturity to shove it up their @$$. Adults cuss, and especially adults caught up in situations that are most suitably consumed by a matured person, situations like domestic violence, or street-level organized crime, or you name the less-than-savory situation.
However, I do agree that conflating "mature dialogue" with "now featuring F-bombs!" does indicate, if not a lack of understanding the concept, then not relaying understanding of it. As basic as Pokeymans dialogue has been, there have been heavy situations or poignant concepts brought forth in the official games. "Mature dialogue", then, would be not tailoring it with kid gloves, but bringing across a more natural lexicon according to the characters, their backgrounds, their current situations, and the target audience's familiarities.
Like @SakuraHaruka put it, "'M' in ESRB mean that is for 'Mature Public'." I have downloaded this fangame, but have yet to figure how it holds as entertainment for a not-so-squeamish adult.
And another reason I kinda wish I sucked it up on the jittery performance and just got the 3DS version. Here's hoping that patching it for resale carries further performance enhancements!
